And yet you elide over my real question....which side isn't killing kids? That is the side I'm going to stand up for.

Hamas is presently the government of Palestine. The majority of people there voted them in. Whether they did so knowing what Hamas would do with that power, who really knows. So yes there are innocent civilians being caught in the middle of this conflict. Some are being used as shields by Hamas and if you are truthful, some certainly understand that. But a lot of them are just kids and they don't understand. I've said since Oct. 7th that the only side I'll be on is the one not killing kids. You tell me which side that is in your opinion, because frankly I'm not seeing one.

I hate and won't support what Israel is doing. However it's not like Palestine hasn't been offered another cease fire and refused it likely because they don't want to admit the hostages are dead. It is a bad situation all around. Biden has provided food aid to the Palestinians and tried to stop Netanyahu from continuing the offense, yet you don't hear about that from a lot of these media sites.

I wonder if the Senate will do the whole trial part and make the House GOP present what they think is evidence?

That's what I was thinking... Here come the bots

Fox "News" doesn't even have to roll out the ever terrifying "migrant caravan" this election season.

I'm sure government agencies buy commercially available products all the time. The problem is that we are no longer just consumers in the market, we are also unwillingly the product.

I might have gotten that if I had my glasses on.

I think it was in Texas from what I heard from the rumor mill. The article is in the guardian which is UK based so they put the exchange rate in for the $15 in £ so the UK folks had a frame of reference

I'll see the same post on 2 or 3 subs and it will just be something I saw a year or more ago.

I guess there is good and bad with either style. I generally prefer the self checkout because I can bag my own stuff

True. I remember thinking it was a load of crap, but it certainly got the message across that I'd be alone and out of a job if I tried to form a union.

And I also remember lessons in class where the textbook weren't l went into great detail about the corruption and mob ties of some unions, but very little about anything positive. There has definitely been an effort on the part of powerful folks to denigrate unions.

I remember reading The Jungle in college and getting a much different perspective of labor laws and union value
